So I'm at a physics conference this week in Lecce, Italy. Some of you wonder how that works given that I'm Deaf and probably don't know Italian Sign Language. Well... 1/N #deaf #interpreters #asl #access #physics
Hey @matplotlib what do we call this and how can we make this plot? images.app.goo.gl/Y9gWutyXJk…
amazing meme from Luigi Corona from indico.belle2.org/event/1227…

ALT picture of profile of a horse drawing divided into three segments. left segment is labeled "detector design" and shows the back of the horse (tail and legs) with shading and very well drawn and looks very realistic. middle segment is labeled "real detector" and has no shading but some outlines and a very details that looks like they tried (high-school art class) for one leg of the horse plus the body. the right segment is labeled "simulation" and looks like a 6-year old kid drew it, with a smiley face, winnie-the-pooh bear ears, and a stick figure leg.

Happy 70th anniversary CERN 🎉
#OnThisDay 70 years ago, twelve European countries came together to establish what has become the world’s largest #ParticlePhysics laboratory, home to the #LHC, and where the #HiggsBoson was discovered 12 years ago.
In how many ways can you say #HappyBirthday?
In this video, representing our 24 Member States, CERN people share their birthday wishes in their native language.

Deaf and linguistics and disabled tweeps. @mchua died last night after 5 years of cancer. I'm heartbroken. Announcement below.
Please remember them with me in ways you feel moved to - do a thing, learn a thing, help someone enter our communities.

Truly the best captioning that money can buy.
it's hard to say if this is a session break or not (I assume so) but the autocraptions don't indicate anything...
If there were actual Deaf attendees there in person, they would not be able to rely on this for any sort of announcements that are important for logistics or safety.
Pro tip: got a PDF file that's just too big to upload for an application? Here's a ghostscript command that does the heavy-lifting for you:

Replying to @POTUS46Archive
Let me be clear:
The Palestinian people are suffering.
The need to get increased aid to the most vulnerable is urgent.
And our work with Israel to further increase the amount of aid getting into Gaza by land continues.

Quit my PhD yesterday! Pretty proud of myself. It wasn’t easy but I wasn’t sure I was going to survive another few years (literally) and I knew my baby needed his mommy alive so it’s what I had to do.
I'm shocked by the disparity between the quality of @StanfordMed and the (lack of) quality of the #ASL staff interpreters they have for their #Deaf patients.

Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months. This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong.
